I just got myself a new linux box AMD Duron 1.0GHz / 128MB my BIOS detects the 128MB of RAM but (redhat or mandrake) willonly detect 91.5MB after they load...I tried editing the boot loader with the mem=128M (for both lilo and grub)neither worked ...i then thought maybe it was because the integratedvideo is sharing some of the RAM ... so i added 256MB to the 128 ... and it still only shows up as 91.5 .... any thoughts?

i called tech support just for the hell of it ... and they are trying to tell me that the integrated video is taking 32mb of it ... even if this is true it still doesnt make sense to why after i added the extra 256 ... it would still onlysay i only have 91.5mb after linux loads

Well, it does make sense that your integrated video takes 32 megs from your original 128, however, obviously after adding the other 256mb, it should register with 256+96=352 (or 360). You mentioned that your bios showed 128 mb the first time, but didn't mention if after you added the 256mb did the bios show that?
